Spain death toll passes 15,000
The number of coronavirus deaths in Spain has risen to 15,238, but there is hope as the rate of new infections appears to be slowing.
According to Thursday's figures, the number of recorded cases rose by 5,756 in the past 24 hours, down from the rise of 6,180 reported on Wednesday.
The figure represents a return to a daily decrease in new cases. New infections had been declining for four consecutive days until the numbers rose again on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thursday's figures also showed a drop in the number of deaths.
Parliament is debating an extension to Spain's lockdown, but the prime minister has suggested the situation is beginning to be brought under control.
